Control system of the automatic forming line used for production of foundry goods in GIFF company

Production dates back to 1618. After its founding, the company's main focus was the production of pig iron which it improved and expanded upon. In 1913, the Frydlant corporation for the production of iron goods – FERRUM, was founded which has leased Frydlant Iron Works for 50 years, thus ending the archbishop's ownership of the plant. On September 1st, 2001, the company was renamed GIFF a.s.

Today GIFF a.s is a single production unit. It produces about 600 tons of castings per month. The mould design is a modern frameless molding line and a newly installed DISAMATIC formation HWS line. Formation is performed by using a synthetic bentonite mixture.

Automatic control system for molding lines

The automatic control system on production lines manages molding for sewage technology, engine cowlings and other foundry products according to customer requirements.

Standard input/output signals are used for control of production lines as well as precise positioning control of screw cutters, fast counter inputs. The remote maintenance modem is useful in the event of a failure and enables rapid diagnosis and repair.

Manufacturing is conducted based on different recipes selected from the Reliance's database. It is possible to preselect six of them to the control system memory with a specified number of produced pieces.
